LPBO's Project Recovery

It sounds a little crazy, but that's exactly the opportunity offered by the Long Point Bird Observatory. Many of the birds banded by LPBO are available for "adoption" for a modest fee — from $30 for a Red-breasted Nuthatch to $100 for a Sharp-shinned Hawk. This doesn't mean you can take the birds home with you! After all, they are wild animals! However, sponsoring a banded bird supports a worthy cause and it's fun. We call the program "Project Recovery."

Long Point Bird Observatory uses bird banding as a tool to study the migration pathways of birds, their longevity and fluctuations in their populations. For example: a Gray Catbird banded by LPBO was recently recovered in Guatemala, and a Slate-colored Junco banded at Long Point and recovered in Pennsylvania was nearly 10 years old.

Your sponsorship of a banded bird will help fund important research. You'll receive a certificate which acknowledges you as the sponsor and provides details of the banded bird as well as a photograph of the bird, both mounted together, suitable for framing. An adopted bird makes a great gift! Naturally, your adoption is a tax-creditable donation. So . . . Adopt-a-bird, support an important scientific and conservation effort, and receive a unique reminder of the research here at Long Point. Adopting-a-bird is as simple as giving us a call on our toll-free number: 1-888-448-BIRD. As soon as we receive your request and payment, we'll create your certificate and immediately send it to you.
